Sts. Boris and Gleb Church

The church exhibits traditional Russian ecclesiastical architecture with limestone walls, a four-piered structure, and three distinctive apses at its eastern end.

Prince Konstantin of Rostov commissioned the construction of this religious edifice in 1214, establishing it as a center of worship in medieval Russia.

The temple preserves fragments of 13th-century frescoes depicting religious scenes and pays tribute to Saints Boris and Gleb, early Russian martyrs.

The temple maintains regular worship services, while visitors can explore the interior spaces and observe religious ceremonies during designated hours.

The church represents one of the few remaining examples of early 13th-century Russian religious architecture that survived numerous historical transformations.
